there once was a girl

who loved someone tons

and was taught when she was young

that love would be repaid with love

when the world was good and done.

and so she danced through life

giving love wherever she went

but found that other would keep

their love up pent.

she noticed but stayed naiive

and hoped that one day things would change

people would see her worth

and the strength of her love

and show that they felt the same.

And now she waits, alone

giving out her last bits of love.

the light in her gets dimmer

because no one repays her kindness

and soon it’s what she will be devoid of.
